I have a background in the fine/performing arts and bodywork, so I often invite the integration of creative expression and somatic awareness into the therapeutic work we do.
Being alive means that we will experience pain, crave meaning, and eventually, confront death. It is normal, and even necessary, to experience anxiety in response. The question is whether this anxiety motivates us or paralyzes us. Problems arise when we are unable to feel a sense of agency in our lives; and it is through increased awareness that we can become better equipped to build the kind of life we want to lead and flourish into the kind of people we want to be. I work best with clients who want to be their most authentic selves, and are willing to dig deep to heal their past and create a better future for themselves.

You may feel deeply and value meaningful connections, yet find yourself repeating the same relationship patterns. You might overthink interactions, question your worth, or feel anxious in relationships even when you care deeply about others. Many people I work with are thoughtful, emotionally aware individuals who want to better understand themselves and the patterns shaping how they connect with others and themselves. They may have insight into their struggles but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their sense of self.

My role is to walk beside them with warmth and expertise, providing that safe, non-judgmental space to process pain, cultivate resilience, and rediscover their strength.

I hold firmly that there is something sacred about the work that we do together in therapy. To do deep, healing work together, I hope that our space feels safe, warm, empathetic, and authentic. I particularly enjoy helping people connect with parts of themselves they've felt disconnected from for some time, whether that be self-esteem, wants and needs, emotions, etc. I believe that relationships are vital for change, and I believe that the work we do within the therapeutic relationship will help you connect more with yourself and with the most important people in your life.

As a counsellor with a human biology background my approach to counselling combines talk therapy with body-centered ( somatic) techniques.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
